SYMPTOMS
Delayed worker threads may cause a STOP 7A - KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
message to be displayed.
CAUSE
When the browser receives a server announcement, the transport notifies the
browser at the interrupt level. This announcement is queued to a worker
thread by allocating a block of non-paged pool for the work item and queuing
that work item for later processing.
If the announcements arrive very quickly or if the computer running the
browser is very busy, the work items are not processed as quickly as they
are received. In that case, all of the non-paged pool memory is consumed by
these queue entries.
